Missouri City residents who enjoy walking the City’s trails can soon guide the City’s steps in developing a master plan for those pathways.

The city will host two public meetings to develop a Trails Master Plan on March 10 and 24 at 7 p.m. in the Community Center next to City Hall, located at 1522 Texas Parkway.

During these meetings, residents will have a chance to offer ideas about the location and use of the City’s existing trails and new trails.

“The Trails Master Plan will serve as a blueprint for future development, so we are inviting residents who enjoy the outdoors to give us their ideas,” Parks and Recreation Director Kelly Snook said.

“The Master Plan will show how existing trails can connect with new trails, as well as the kind of trails the City will develop in the years to come. The City has numerous trails inside existing parks, as well as expanded sidewalks that function as trails. Residents’ input will determine not only where, but when new trails are built.”
